Good finds Jim.

I have a 2-10G (I think its a 2-10 anyway) that is a lot of fun to run and really hold the RPM in the cut. Don't know how anyone came up with a 3/8 drive sprocket however. When you get that thing apart please share some photos.

I also got an SP81 all fixed up and going recently, that saw is really a lot of fun. Snappy too!

Tomorrow I will get some photo's up of my latest...

Ok I took the saw apart to get to the exhaust port to measure the piston and to see how it looks and took the oilier apart and this is what I came up with according to Acres site and going through all the 54cc gear drive saws. I will take apart the drive system tomorrow and get some pics of it and the sprocket. Here are the pics I took tonight.

Piston and cylinder look great, points and condenser under the flywheel, and no oil pump just the manual one.

Two LG-6's Model # 600002 serial # 10 32257.
Both have SDC carbs. No tag on the one saw.
The Bow saw has 404 chain and the other has 1/2 inch.

Here are a few pics of the sprocket. I did not get to take it off yet, will probably have to wait till next weekend.

I did get to cut some wood with it and all I can say is WOW! I will try to make a video on sunday, it is the only way I could explain how this saw works and have you believe me. Oh yeah, if you don't have one you should get one, take my word for it.

Also, the guy who got my 250 brought it by to show his work and I took a pic of it. The custom dawg needs some adjusting on the bottom tooth as it was hard to get it to bite on top of the log, I think he is going to shorten it up a little and give it a little more of a down slope.

What might be the correct spark plug for this 300 and, i have no spark and will need to dig into the points next.

A Champion CJ8 plug will work fine. Original would have been a Champion J8J.

I know this is pretty sketchy, but back in 1962, Dad bought a McCulloch chainsaw with a 16" bar & standard 3/8ths chain. #It was heavy too. #We used it at least 10 years, and cut many tall oaks with it.
Could someone shoot me a guess as to what model might have been? #I'm sure it would be the avg model going that year .

Just a guess, It could have been one of the following.
1-42, 1-43, 1-52, 1-53 and many more i'm sure.

Probably a 1-40 series saw, such as a 1-43. Are you certain it had 3/8" chain to begin with? Those (and most other "smaller" saws back then) would have had .404 or 7/16" chain. If it was a few years later, I'd say the saw was a 1-10 or 2-10. Those ran 3/8" chain, but weren't around in 1962.

Hey Lee,

That's twice that we've posted almost the same thing within a minute of each other today. You beat me to the punch this time.....

Not certain at all. Just assumed it was. I'll dig around, I might find an old chain that came off it. I never knew what went with that saw till the other day. My little brother had it all along till recently when he cleaned out his storage shed.:msp_ohmy: he tossed it!

That kind of thing happens sometimes. I have a good friend who tossed a Homelite 2100 years ago (before I knew him). Can't let it ruin friendships or family relations. He knows not to do that again!

I'll bet it's from 1964-65 or so and is of the X-10 family.

 

[Sagetown]

P.S.
I forgot to mention that when y'all posted the # 43 , it kinda rang a bell. I bet that's what it was. Thanks for your answers. Sure wish I could have recovered that old saw.

Thanka Aaron for clearing up one of life's great quandaries.

I have often thought that chainsaws pre-dated Christianity .... musta been brought here by aliens.

:yoyo:

Wtf????????????

You lost me WingNut.....:msp_confused:

Wards Saw

Finished this one yesterday. Other than being super filthy the saw show very little use. I took it down and gave it a good cleaning. I flushe the fuel tank, new lines and filter. I removed the muffler screen and and noticed it was clogged solid. The wire wheel cleaned it up good. I re-built the carb but it just would not dial in. I bought a new HDB walboro and it runs like new. I know these saws get a bad rap sometimes but I like it and I know 2 other guys who bought PM 610s new in '87 and still use them today, and have had not problems. This 3.7 Montgomery wards saw is cool cause you dont see them a lot.

 

[Warped5]

VERY clean, Joe!

Nice work! :msp_thumbsup:
